Since mathematics is both a cultural and a technical field of study, the curriculum is planned with the following objective:
- to introduce students to mathematics as an important area of human thought;
- to prepare students for careers in a wide array of industries and academia;
- to give preparation to students for graduate study in mathematics and related fields;
- to prepare students planning to teach mathematics at the secondary level;
- to serve the needs of students in fields which rely on mathematics, e.g., experimental sciences, social sciences and education.
